You are talking about the curved light right? What it looks like, is some sort of invisible round boolean object in there. I don't see it on the scene, but maybe there is a hidden one on the ship. Do a 180 of the ship and see if the bend in the light moves.

When I was working on the fire challenge I notice some of my unseen boolen difference objects would indeed cast shadows and block light even if I turned off the accepting or casting shadows. Was strange. Maybe something along those lines is causing this. :)
